From official development assistance to the financing of global public policies

Dear bloggers,
I would like to share with you some of the reflections of an article my colleague Olivier Ray and I just published in the Center for Global Development's working papers (accessible here), as they fit nicely in the mandate of this blog - i.e. 'sharing information, viewpoints and visions for the future with the common goal of advancing the cause of development'. In this piece we reflect on some of the changes taking place in the world of international development. We describe a transformation of official development assistance (ODA) into a global public policy whose objectives, instruments and actors are profoundly different from the ones that characterized development aid only ten to fifteen years ago.
How will the financial crisis affect the South, and how can European Aid help developing countries face this challenge?

The debate was initiated at the European Development Days 2008 in Strasbourg and the discussion continues. Rendez-vous in Stockholm for the 2009's edition, and until then "To your keyboards"!
